Assurer la réussite des clients à l’ère de l’IA
HSBC fait partie des organisations qui prennent actuellement part au programme Lighthouse destiné aux primo-adoptants. Chaque organisation participant au programme envisage d’utiliser Q Assist de plusieurs manières, notamment pour :

  • Simplifier les tâches d’analyse, d’enquête et de création de rapports pour les travailleurs de l’information et de la connaissance en vue de gagner en efficacité.
  • Réduire la dépendance aux équipes opérationnelles et de science des données pour les demandes de données ad hoc, afin de concentrer plus de temps aux tâches plus stratégiques.
  • Permettre aux équipes en contact avec les clients d’accéder aux données enrichies et aux informations dont elles ont besoin pour accroître les revenus et améliorer l’expérience des clients.
  • Permettre aux équipes d’une organisation de prendre des décisions fiables, traçables et d’accélérer l’amélioration des processus opérationnels.

BNY envisage actuellement de rejoindre HSBC au sein du programme Lighthouse. Quantexa a collaboré avec les participants au programme Lighthouse afin de prédire sur un, trois et cinq ans les retombées du déploiement de Q Assist au sein de leurs équipes en contact avec la clientèle, de science des données et d’investigation. Elle a constaté un gain de productivité quasi immédiat dans trois domaines essentiels : gain de temps et d’efficacité, identification de nouvelles opportunités et augmentation des taux de conversion.

HSBC prévoit que la démocratisation de l’analyse et l’accélération des processus dans ces domaines pourraient conduire à des gains de productivité dès la première année de déploiement. L’entreprise espère également faire gagner du temps à ses employés, ce qui leur permettra de se concentrer sur d’autres tâches stratégiques.

David Rice, Directeur de l’exploitation au niveau mondial, Commercial Banking chez HSBC, a déclaré : « Cette nouvelle solution peut améliorer l’efficacité et la précision de tâches complexes telles que les enquêtes de lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent et les stratégies commerciales, en fournissant des données fiables et des analyses contextuelles. L’introduction de l’analyse contextuelle et l’innovation permettra à HSBC de concentrer ses ressources de manière plus productive et, en fin de compte, d’aider ses clients. »

Quantexa estime qu’une institution financière mondiale de premier plan, disposant de trois niveaux de défense en matière de criminalité financière et de lutte contre la fraude, générant environ 15 000 alertes par mois, pourrait réaliser des gains d’efficacité et des économies considérables en déployant la suite technologique d’IA générative Q Assist :

  • Plus de 17 millions de livres sterling d’économies réalisées chaque année grâce à l’amélioration et à l’automatisation des processus d’enquête et de signalement en matière de criminalité financière et de fraude.

Le directeur de la technologie de Quantexa, Jamie Hutton, a déclaré : « Le principe d’ingénierie de Quantexa, qui consiste à élaborer des solutions pour proposer une valeur client maximale, a permis à nos clients de formuler des exigences pour Q Assist. Grâce au programme Lighthouse de l’entreprise destiné aux primo-adoptants, nous avons la chance de collaborer avec des leaders du secteur qui nous fournissent des informations précieuses tout au long de notre feuille de route. »

Eric Hirschhorn, Directeur des données chez BNY Mellon, a déclaré : « Nous nous réjouissons de voir Quantexa poursuivre ses innovations. Notre collaboration forte de plusieurs années nous a permis d’éliminer les silos de données et d’unifier nos données avec une précision inégalée. Dans le cadre de la prochaine phase de nos efforts d’innovation, nous envisagerons de permettre aux employés de première ligne de la banque d’utiliser l’IA générative afin d’exploiter en toute confiance les données et de gagner ainsi en efficacité. »

LONDRES, June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nesta segunda-feira, no palco central da London Tech Week 2024, a Quantexa, líder global em soluções de Inteligência Decisória (Decision Intelligence, DI) para os setores público e privado, apresentou o Q Assist, um pacote de tecnologia de IA generativa com reconhecimento de contexto para ajudar as organizações a aumentarem a tomada de decisões confiáveis em equipes de trabalhadores da linha de frente e de informações. O anúncio demonstra o progresso em relação ao plano de inovação da plataforma da empresa e ocorre quase um ano depois de a Quantexa detalhar um investimento significativo no setor global de inteligência artificial (IA) e apresentar o Q Assist como um copiloto autônomo agnóstico de LLM.

Como ajudar os clientes a ter sucesso na era da IA
O HSBC é uma das organizações que participam atualmente do Lighthouse Program para os primeiros usuários. Cada organização no programa prevê o uso do Q Assist de várias maneiras, incluindo:

  • Simplificar as tarefas de análise, investigação e geração de relatórios para que os profissionais da informação e do conhecimento alcancem uma maior eficiência.
  • Reduzir a dependência das equipes de ciência de dados e operações para solicitações de dados ad-hoc, permitindo que tenham mais tempo para se concentrarem em tarefas mais estratégicas.
  • Proporcionar às equipes de contado direto com o cliente o acesso a dados aprimorados e insights necessários para aumentar a receita e melhorar a experiência dos clientes.
  • Permitir que as equipes de toda a organização tomem decisões confiáveis de forma consistente, que sejam rastreáveis e acelerem o aprimoramento do processo operacional.

O BNY Mellon já está avaliando a possibilidade de se juntar ao HSBC no esforço do Lighthouse. A Quantexa trabalhou com os participantes do Lighthouse Program para projetar os benefícios de um, três e cinco anos da implantação do Q Assist em suas equipes de atendimento ao cliente, ciência de dados e investigação. Foi constatado um ganho de produtividade quase imediato em três áreas principais: economia de tempo e eficiência, identificação de novas oportunidades e aumento das taxas de conversão.

O HSBC prevê que a democratização da análise e a aceleração dos processos nessas áreas possam levar a ganhos de produtividade no primeiro ano de implementação. A empresa também espera liberar o tempo dos funcionários, permitindo que eles voltem a se concentrar em outras tarefas estratégicas.

David Rice, diretor de operações globais de atividades bancárias comerciais do HSBC, disse: “Essa nova solução tem o potencial de aumentar a eficiência e a precisão de tarefas complexas, como investigações contra lavagem de dinheiro e estratégias de vendas, fornecendo dados confiáveis e análises contextuais. A introdução da análise contextual e da inovação permitirá que o HSBC concentre nossos recursos de forma mais produtiva e, por fim, ajude nossos clientes”.

A Quantexa estima que uma instituição financeira global de primeiro nível, com três níveis de defesa em crimes financeiros e esforços de conformidade contra fraudes, gerando aproximadamente 15 mil alertas por mês, poderia obter ganhos significativos de eficiência e redução de custos com a implementação do pacote de tecnologia de IA generativa Q Assist:

  • Mais de £17 milhões em economia anual, graças ao aprimoramento e à automatização dos processos de investigação e de geração de relatórios sobre crimes financeiros e fraudes.

O CTO da Quantexa, Jamie Hutton, disse: “O princípio de engenharia da Quantexa de moldar soluções para oferecer o máximo de valor ao cliente permitiu que nossos clientes desempenhassem um papel fundamental ao ajudar a moldar os requisitos do produto Q Assist. Por meio do Lighthouse Program da empresa para os primeiros usuários, temos o benefício de trabalhar com líderes do setor que fornecem um valioso feedback durante todo o processo de elaboração do nosso roteiro”.

Eric Hirschhorn, diretor de dados do BNY Mellon, disse: “Estamos entusiasmados em ver a inovação contínua da Quantexa. Nossa colaboração de vários anos nos ajudou a eliminar os silos de dados e a unificar nossos dados com uma precisão sem precedentes. A próxima fase de nossos esforços de inovação nos levará a explorar o potencial de permitir que os funcionários da linha de frente de todo o banco usem a IA generativa para agir com base em insights dos dados com confiança e alcançar novos níveis de eficiência no processo”.

Como funciona o novo pacote de tecnologia de IA generativa Q Assist
O novo pacote de tecnologia de IA generativa da Quantexa combinará a Plataforma de Inteligência de Decisão da Quantexa e a IA generativa por meio de uma nova camada de integração de dados, criador de prompts e copiloto que acelera a capacidade das equipes de tomar decisões comerciais críticas.

O Q Assist oferece IA confiável e extensível, apoiada pela Plataforma de Inteligência de Decisão da Quantexa. Isso permite que equipes não técnicas se beneficiem dos recursos essenciais da plataforma da Quantexa, incluindo uma base de dados conectada, análise de gráficos, modelagem e pontuação para aumentar e automatizar a tomada de decisões. O novo pacote de tecnologia Q Assist é composto por três componentes:

  • Camada de Integração do Q Assist: o sistema central do Q Assist. É uma estrutura de ferramentas, conectores e APIs projetados para vincular com segurança a Plataforma de Inteligência de Decisão da Quantexa com LLMs e sistemas de IA de conversação prontos para uso.
  • Prompt Builder do Q Assist: um recurso extensível de gerenciamento e compartilhamento de prompts que se integra facilmente a ferramentas e estruturas externas de engenharia de prompts, como o Azure Prompt Flow da Microsoft, o Semantic Kernel ou o AutoGen, para colocar o poder nas mãos dos administradores para definir e controlar prompts e respostas baseadas em dados contextuais gerados pela Plataforma de Inteligência de Decisão da Quantexa.
  • Copilot do Q Assist: permite que os usuários consultem dados grandes e díspares por meio de uma interface de linguagem natural, compreendam e resumam dados, insights e descobertas em tempo real e automatizem tarefas de pesquisa, investigação e geração de relatórios.

Hoje, a empresa está disponibilizando os recursos do pacote de tecnologia de IA generativa Q Assist para um conjunto limitado de clientes, com disponibilidade pública mais ampla planejada para o início de 2025.

Integration rate of vocational training graduates in labour market reaches 80% (ATFP)


Tunis: The integration rate of vocational training graduates into the labour market has reached 80%, Director General of the Tunisian Vocational Training Agency (ATFP) Marouane Ben Slimane said.

A large number of vocational training interns sign employment contracts with economic enterprises even before completing their training and obtaining their diplomas, he told TAP.

This is due to the high level of training, notably practical training, in the various specialities, said Ben Slimane.

Vocational training graduates in Tunisia are in great demand, he added, pointing out that contracts have been signed with Italy, Germany and Switzerland to recruit 4,000 vocational training graduates.

ATFP offers some 36,000 new training posts each year, in addition to posts available for further training, specialisation training or professional retraining, the same source explained.

The ATFP Director General underlined the need to keep abreast of developments and the new demands of the job market, in order to create new
specialities that meet the expectations of economic enterprises, pointing to the entry into operation of two training centres in fibre optics, Android phone programming and the installation and maintenance of renewable energy equipment.

Support for the peace effort: Sebba provides more than 400,000 FCFA

Sebba: The population of Sebba handed over on Sunday June 9 to the town hall of the said commune, the sum of 430,100 CFA francs to the second vice-president of the special delegation of the commune of Sebba to support the former head of a military detachment, Lieutenant Ouattara, seriously injured at the front after hitting an explosive device.

The population of the town of Sebba and internally displaced people held a money collection meeting to support the former head of the military detachment, Lieutenant Ouattara currently in care in Ouagadougou. Lieutenant Ouattara was on mission in Sebba as detachment leader.

During his stay, he was greatly appreciated by the population for the remarkable work he accomplished. While returning from a mission, his motorcycle hit an explosive device which caused him serious injuries. Very quickly he was evacuated to Ouagadougou for treatment. It was the second vice-president of the special delegation, Bali Bako who received the envelope.

Participants in the meeting

Befo
re any remarks, the imam of the Sunni mosque was invited to bless the meeting. He took advantage of recalling the benefits of Lieutenant Ouattara when he was stationed in the locality.

‘I wanted to remind you through this channel that detachment leader Ouattara taught us social cohesion, good lessons of morality, living together, that is to say, VDP population, FDS population, host population and PDI. For his benefits, we gave him a white turban as a sign of respect and consideration. We will at the same time ask the second vice-president to carry our message for Lieutenant Ouattara’s replacement so that he takes the same steps. What we are going to collect today is symbolic and we will always pray that he regains all his health,’ said the Imam.

2nd Vice President Bali Bako

The amount collected on site is four hundred and thirty thousand, one hundred (430,100) CFA francs. The list remains open for latecomers. The date of Tuesday June 11, 2024 was selected by a committee set up for the latest assessment.

T
he first vice-president took the opportunity to thank the entire population of the city of Sebba and the internally displaced people for this gesture, a sign of the good collaboration between FDS, VDP and populations.

‘This amount is worth millions,’ said Second Vice-President Bako, knowing the current difficult situation of the population. ‘I reassure you that the envelope will reach the right person and I promise you that you will hear from him,’ he added.

‘I will do my best so that the new head of the military detachment and you can work together to regain all the confidence needed so that everyone can carry out their activities successfully. It is also an opportunity for me to tell everyone to always cultivate peace, tolerance and forgiveness in their hearts. It is together that we will convince this evil,’ he said.

The vice-president, after the collection, collected the concerns of the participants. Some took the opportunity to raise awareness by recalling the values ??of their ancestors, citing examp
les of social cohesion, calling out, etc. For others, it was an opportunity to pass on information. In any case, many concerns have been alleviated. It was at the end of this range of miscellaneous items that the second vice-president asked the marabouts to close the meeting with a blessing.

Ouagadougou: three individuals arrested for illegal export of corn flour

Ouagadougou: The national gendarmerie arrested three people in Yagma, members of a network, who illegally exported bags of corn flour, hidden in the compartments of a tanker truck, AIB learned Tuesday.

On the basis of denunciation, during April 2024, the Yagma City Gendarmerie Brigade opened an investigation into suspicions of illegal exports of bags of flour to neighboring countries of Burkina, the AIB learned this Tuesday from the Directorate of communication and public relations (DCRP) of the national gendarmerie.

According to Pandora’s sources, the suspects who operated in Yagma, sector no. 37 in district no. 09 of Ouagadougou, packaged corn flour between 2 and 3 a.m. in 25 kg bags to export them to tank truck compartments.

During an operation carried out on May 21, 2024 by the Yagma gendarmerie, the manager of the flour production unit, the driver of the tank truck and the apprentice driver of the tank truck were arrested, after the DCRP Gendarmerie.

Remember that since February 2022, the export of c
orn, millet and sorghum flour has been suspended.

The three suspects are accused of illegal exercise of industrial activity, deception of consumers and endangering the lives of others.

The gendarmerie indicated that investigations are underway to dismantle other networks in order to eradicate this illicit practice.

In Yagma, the gendarmes seized a tanker truck containing 974 bags of flour of 13 kilograms, 42 bags of 23 kilograms for a total of 1016 bags and 50 bags of corn of 100 kg transformed into flour still spread in the yard.

50 bags of 100 kilograms of corn soaked in 22 barrels of 200 liters, 50 bags of one hundred kilograms of corn already shelled and placed on the ground and 150 bags of corn of 100 kilograms, stored under a shed were also seized.

In addition, four mills, three hullers and two tricycles are used to deliver flour to the city of Ouagadougou.

The public is invited to denounce such practices through the following toll-free numbers:

Ways to combat violence against women debated in Tunis


Tunis: Psychological violence accounts for 69% of the total reports recorded on the hotline 1899 in 2023, said Minister of Family, Women, Children, and the Elderly Amel Belhaj Moussa. Despite its prevalence, it is rarely discussed, even though it is the root cause of all forms of violence, she was quoted as saying in a department press release.

Belhaj Moussa took the floor during a seminar on the “Mental Health of Women Victims of Psychological Violence,” organised on June 11-12 in Tunis at the initiative of the Ministry of Family, Women, Children and the Elderly and the National Centre for Combating Violence against Women, in partnership with UN Women and the Forensic Medicine Department at the Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis.

Some fifty experts in the field of combating violence from Tunisia and abroad including France and Spain, are taking part in the event, alongside members of the steering committee of the “Detection, Response, and Monitoring System for Domestic Violence” project and medical professi
onals.

To combat all forms of violence, she pointed out, the family and the school must play an increasingly active role from childhood onwards, and awareness must be raised through the media in order to instil in young people a rejection of violence in all its forms.

In this connection, she recalled the various measures taken by Tunisia to combat all forms of violence, such as raising the budget allocated to combating violence against women and increasing the number of shelters for women victims of violence, and launching a survey on the ‘profile of perpetrators of violence against women’ (covering a sample of 80 perpetrators of violence) and preparing a survey on media coverage of the phenomenon of violence against women (in terms of the choice of sources and journalistic genres used).

Head of the UN Women Tunisia and Libya office Isadora de Moura affirmed for her part, that violence against women is a ‘global phenomenon’ that takes different forms (such as sexual violence, economic violence, etc.), unde
rlining the impact of moral violence on the mental health of victims (loss of self-confidence, psychological vulnerability and recourse to violence).

According to Article 3 of Organic Law No. 2017-58 of 11th August 2017, on the elimination of violence against women, verbal violence is any verbal aggression, such as defamation, insult, coercion, threat, abandonment, deprivation of rights and freedoms, humiliation, neglect, mockery, belittlement and other acts or words that undermine a woman’s human dignity or are intended to intimidate or dominate her.
